Sonora, CA — Family members of a missing Nevada woman are once again organizing a major search effort this weekend.

The group Texas Equusearch will also participate along with the Carole Sund Carrington Foundation in an effort to locate 64-year-old Nita Mayo who has been missing since August 8th.

Organizers are seeking volunteers to join the search, especially those with Horses, ATVs, dog teams and four-wheel drive vehicles.

Search parties will be staged at the Strawberry Inn on Highway 108 at 9:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Mayo was last seen at her home in Hawthorne, Nevada when she told friends she was taking a day trip through Sonora Pass. Her car was later located at the Donnell Vista Overlook with the keys, her purse, wallet and cell phone locked inside.

Her family says it´s urgent that she be found soon as winter is quickly approaching the region.
